Oregon State announced Wednesday night that it will hire Washington offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith as head coach. But the steps to get to Smith were different for Oregon State than almost any other public institution in the country.
SALT LAKE CITY — Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., introduced legislation Wednesday that allows sexual harassment victims on Capitol Hill to release the names of their perpetrators and taxpayer-funded financial settlements.
Victims currently must sign a nondisclosure agreement as part of the settlement process through the Office of Compliance. The legislation would remove the requirement, giving victims the option to speak publicly.
The latter half of 2017 will be remembered as the time that women all over the globe drew a line in the sand.
No longer will sexual harassment be endured silently. No longer will abusers operate with impunity. No longer will men dominate discussion and decision-making in boardrooms, capitol buildings and households across the country. And no longer will the people who hear these stories demean the accusers, and pick through their lives like vultures in search of rotten meat.
Lawmakers are heading back to Capitol Hill after the Thanksgiving break with a lot to accomplish before the end of the year.
Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici sat down with KATU's Deb Knapp before the holiday weekend for a conversation on what she hopes to accomplish after Congress resumes.
When Dan McMahon fractured his leg over the Fourth of July, he refused to take prescription drugs for the pain.
McMahon dislikes pain as much as anyone else, but he has a somewhat unique perspective.
"Pain is good," he said. "It lets us know we're not supposed to do something."
What McMahon shouldn't be doing is taking prescription painkillers. He took some when he was a teenager, and was introduced to years of torturous opioid addiction as a result.

The initiative is designed to create a network of cyber security resources, educational tools and training programs to help public and private enterprises stay safe online while helping develop the cyber security community.
Kris Rosenberg's oven has Wi-Fi, and it makes the Oregon Institute of Technology cybersecurity professor a bit nervous.
Rosenberg said the design feature in and of itself isn't an issue. But the oven presents a risk, in theory, because it could be hacked and remotely activated.
In a world of smartphones, ever-changing passwords and cameras everywhere, the oven is just another device that needs to be managed and protected.
